Critical thinking is an essential skill to build across the curriculum.

Each has verb and sentence starter examples. Final note: Why Bloom’s Taxonomy?

By providing a clear framework for categorizing cognitive skills, teachers can create lessons that move students beyond simple memorization towards higher-order thinking. From recalling facts to creating new ideas, Bloom’s Taxonomy ensures that students are equipped with the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.
